That was an impressive return to racing for this after a year out, finishing well into third. Showed ability last campaign over this extra distance and with improvement from recent run, looks hard to beat

3 Roc Dancer
F: 06X2B(9)W(56.5)
( J-Sam Weatherley )
( T-Ritchie/Murray )
Can't fault its resuming run 4 weeks ago, when came late and just missed. Sam Weatherley rides again. Just might find the wide draw a challenge

F: X95X7B(6)W(56.5)
( J-Craig Grylls )

Trainer/jockey combination in good form and this went OK last campaign. Didn't race up to expectations when resuming but 1550m more to its liking
Consider

Dividend : $5.70, $1.70
Won
F: 57B(1)W(56.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ben Foote )
Trainer rolling out plenty of winners on the synthetic and this one looked likely after its nice debut run, but disappointed next time. Has rails draw and has to be a chance if bouncing back
Longer Odds
6 Faye's Warrior
F: 8X540B(7)W(56.5)
( J-Tegan Newman )
( T-Alex Forbes )
Forget last run when on the heavy, on the turf. Back to the synthetic a better proposition

This one was in the same race as Annie and although 6th, was only 1 1/2 lengths from winner. Has continued to improve and, having picked it in its last two races, we are sticking with it again
Consider
6 Pinion
F: 9XB(4)W(58.5)

Four runs, two in the heavy in which it didn't run that well. Trainer has been going OK and this surface and track rating will suit it better

3 Cathay Empress
F: 04136B(2)W(58.5)
( J-Michael McNab )
( T-Ben Foote )
Forget last run when it got back at a distance that was too short. Back to 1550m and Michael McNab up again sees it as the obvious chance from inside draw. Trainer's stable in top form too
Main Danger
9 Yolo
F: 4X639B(4)W(57.5)

Astute trainer starting this one on the synthetic for the first time. Add to that promising apprentice claims 4kg and you've got good EW odds

Consider
3 Sweet Talking
F: 45B(11)W(58.5)
